LAURAS NAREIKO

May the other side
also be heard.


Latin expression

The other side, the criticizing one, are always a minority. They need to be more creative, consequently. That's where I have been most of my life.

​

     As a result, I have got some experience and, most importantly, a mentality that can solve problems differently. I can design something useful - or help you train your creativity.

​

     'Design something useful' means I am solving all sorts of problems by developing alternative futures. The latter can be in the form of futures images, scenarios, concept designs of a product/service/business, etc. I call it human systems design because even 'purely' technological problems often boil down to 'human' ingredients, such as ideas and desires.

​

     I also develop exercises and inspirations for creativity - feel free to browse my blog or products, like 100 Creativity Exercises.
